Losing

I don’t know if this is normal or not.
I am having a hard time with grief. Losing family members and pets over the years has taken it toll.
i know it’s part of life, but I can’t come to terms with it.
everyone around me is so much older and I am counting the days so I know how long I have left with them
i know it’s messed up, but I don’t think I can handle losing anyone anymore
i am scared that I will be the last one standing all alone
I really miss everyone I have lost, I feel like I can’t move on
I am just sitting crying these tears for them again

Im sorry its like this

Its normal but also a problem

There are some books about grief if you are interested

Sending hugs if you would like hugs

Hi Dani,

I am sorry that you are experiencing this. I believe that it is normal to fear losing someone. However, who’s to say how we grieve or how long we grieve. That is an individual acceptance process.

I don’t know what is a remedy to cope, but maybe also focus on the happy memories you have of them not just that they are gone.

Could your grieving time be extended because you feel like you don’t have closure?

Maybe you wish you had expressed certain to things but didn’t get the chance to.

A therapist who specializes in grief counseling may be able to help you find the WHY behind the prolonged grief and fearing who is next.

I go through seasons where I grieve and lose sleep over people who are in the news due to tragedy. I don’t know them but have deep sympathy for their situation.

It makes me think about my own family and how I presume the void and detriment losing them would leave on my heart.

I don’t attend funerals. I don’t want my last visual of a loved one to be engraved with the image of them laying lifeless.

I wish you the best in learning how to cope with loss and anticipated loss.
